Whats up fellow Rangers...I am thinking about joining a SF Gaurd/Resv unit, but I have a couple of questions first.
-Do you need to be tabbed out (18 series) to go into SF Gaurd/Resv?
-Being a former Ranger (MOS 11c) what would I do in the unit?
-Would I be able to attened SFAS/Q course? What other military shcools would be available?
-I know SF Gaurd/Resv deploy, would I or would I have to wait until I was 18 series?
Thanks for the info

Boattail,
Let me preface my response by saying I have never been to SFAS, am not currently in any NG or reserve unit and the information I have is from my own research into the same questions.
I have the email address of a few guys that are doing exactly what we are talking about, and most of my info comes from them.
I hope this helps.

- No. 1st of all there are no reserve SF units. There are 2 ARNG SF groups, 19th and 20th. Email me and I will send you all of the POC info. Also, you do not have to be tabbed out (18 series) to get into an ARNG SF group. In fact, they are recruiting pretty hard right now.Do you need to be tabbed out (18 series) to go into SF Gaurd/Resv?
- You will be assigned to a platoon that preps you to go to SFAS. When you and your unit think you are ready for SFAS, then you go active duty TDY to SFAS.Being a former Ranger (MOS 11c) what would I do in the unit?
- Yes. In fact you have too. After completion of SFAS, which is now phase I, you have from 1 - 2 years to attend the Q-course. You must attend the Q-course straight through, so depending on your MOS you are looking at 1 - 1.5 years on active duty.Would I be able to attened SFAS/Q course?
- I can't answer that, sorry.What other military shcools would be available?
- I can't answer that with much confidence either. I remember someone, may have been Pete, that told me right after 9/11 the guys that had completed SFAS but not the Q-course did deploy. But that is the limit on my info about that.I know SF Gaurd/Resv deploy, would I or would I have to wait until I was 18 series?
